How the GIF gets smaller
An animated GIF stores every frame as its own picture. The compressor makes each frame cheaper without dropping any.
Palette
Fewer colours, small differences
The palette is reduced and tiny differences you can't see while it plays are allowed, which removes most of the weight.
